I went through the tool addiction phase years ago. Then I realised that the real challenge was building your own tools and way more fun too.
It's always easier to fix, adjust, tune and upgrade a tool if you have built it and know it intimately.
Here's the latest machine I built (with the old cyclone dust collector in the back):
Materials were mostly MDF for the body, Plywood for the tables. and hard woods for the interior box holding the tension springs.
Rollers are pieces of round MDF glued together.

Ah tools, I love them all but possibly my dial caliper for both metric and imperial measuring is the most used and after that definitely my Byrnes Model saw.
After years of loosing or mislaying what ever it was that I was using just moments before I decided to try to be a bit more organised and put some of them onto the wall a sort of shadow board without the shadows, it’s great as long as I remember to put the back after using.

My best tool is the one I cannot find at the moment I need it.
In my opinion also very important and often used by myself -
set of small chisels
I am using often the versions from Hasegawa

Thanks, bought some
now there’s a too I don’t have for ship building. I do grab the wide Xacto blade often. It’s like a chisel kinda.

Besides being the tool you do not have the best tool is the one you can not afford to buy!
But I do like those chisels, may have to add to my Fathers Day Wish List. I guess a Byrnes table saw might be too much to ask for from the kids.
